## Resource

The Oklahoma City Thunder are making tough financial moves to avoid a crushing luxury tax bill, trading away fan favorites Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe—saving an estimated $140 million. Wiggins, a beloved 55th pick turned $45M star, and Joe, the electric shooter with a $48M deal, both developed into key pieces. But with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s supermax looming and other young stars on the rise, the Thunder know they’ll need to keep trimming payroll to build a championship contender—hard choices, but necessary.
